Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current air traffic control systems rely on human operators, which can lead to inefficiencies and errors, especially in managing flight maneuvers for electric aircraft.
Innovation Solution
A digital communication system that uses a computing device to receive flight data from electric aircraft, generate traffic renditions, and transmit modified flight plans, thereby automating air traffic control processes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If human air traffic controllers are used to manage flight maneuvers, then flexibility and decision-making capability are maintained, but efficiency is compromised and human errors occur
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables aircraft to autonomously generate and manage their own flight maneuvers using onboard processors that receive flight data, generate traffic renditions, determine maneuvers, and transmit them to flight control systems, eliminating reliance on human controllers for routine decisions
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical human-in-the-loop control system with an automated digital communication system that uses processors to receive flight data, generate traffic renditions, determine flight maneuvers, and transmit commands directly to aircraft flight control systems
2Productivity
If automated digital communication systems are implemented, then efficiency and accuracy are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses universal digital communication protocols and standardized data formats (flight datum, traffic rendition, maneuver data) that can be applied across different aircraft types and air traffic control scenarios, reducing the need for multiple specialized systems
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a standardized digital communication interface as an intermediary between air traffic control systems and aircraft flight control systems, simplifying complex interactions through structured data exchange protocols
Data Source
AI summary
A system for digital communication of a flight maneuver. The system includes a computing device. The computing device is configured to receive at least a flight datum from an aircraft, generate a traffic rendition as a function of the at least a flight datum, identify a flight maneuver as a function of the traffic rendition and a traffic landscape, and transmit the flight maneuver to the aircraft. A method for digital communication of a flight maneuver is also provided.
